Book excerpt: Bootlegger Rory Docherty has returned home to the fabled mountain of his childhood - a misty wilderness that holds its secrets close and keeps the outside world at gunpoint. Slowed by a wooden leg and haunted by memories of the Korean War, Rory runs bootleg whiskey for a powerful mountain clan in a retro-fitted '40 Ford coupe. Between deliveries to roadhouses, brothels, and private clients, he lives with his formidable grandmother, evades federal agents, and stokes the wrath of a rival runner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hanté par la guerre de Corée, où il a perdu une jambe, Rory Docherty est de retour chez lui dans les montagnes de Caroline du Nord. C'est auprès de sa grand-mère, un personnage hors du commun, que le jeune homme tente de se reconstruire et de résoudre le mystère de ses origines, que sa mère, muette et internée en hôpital psychiatrique, n'a jamais pu lui révéler. Embauché par un baron de l'alcool clandestin dont le monopole se trouve menacé, il va devoir déjouer la surveillance des agents fédéraux tout en affrontant les fantômes du passé... Entre les courses automobiles illégales, les pasteurs qui prêchent avec des serpents venimeux dans les mains, les coutumes et croyances d'un endroit reculé au début des années cinquante, c'est tout un univers que fait revivre Taylor Brown dans ce roman haletant qui rappelle Donald Ray Pollock et Tom Franklin.

Book excerpt: 1952, dans les montagnes de Caroline du Nord, la petite ville de Gumtree semble vivre hors du temps au rythme de la contrebande d'alcool et des courses de voitures clandestines. Le jeune Rory Docherty, fraîchement revenu de la guerre de Corée avec une jambe en moins, retrouve sa place dans la communauté auprès de sa grand-mère aimante. Puis il se fait embaucher comme chauffeur, malgré son handicap, par le baron du whisky de la région, dont le monopole se trouve aujourd'hui menacé par un clan rival. Un jour, il tombe par hasard sur une réunion de Pentecôtistes où le pasteur prêche avec des serpents dans les mains, persuadé que sa foi le protège de leur venin mortel. Rory est fasciné et tombe sous le charme de la fille de cet homme, mais sa grand-mère refuse, pour de troubles raisons, qu'il la côtoie. Cette vieille guérisseuse, réputée dans la région, est la seule à savoir pourquoi la mère de Rory est internée et ne dit plus un mot. Lorsque son petit-fils se trouvera en danger de mort, il lui faudra décider de tout lui avouer ou, au contraire, de continuer à le protéger du passé...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allen Ginsberg's Howl is a seminal document for the post-modernisms exfoliating out of World War II - much like T.S. Eliot's Waste Land for modernism. This study traces his formative development in time/space during years 1943 till mid-50s Howl breakthru of individual voice. (A concluding chapter sketches subsequent development up to Plutonium Ode 1978). Close-reading of individual poems is set within the context of biography and cultural politics showing growth of Ginsberg's poetics as adapted from William Carlos Williams' visions of ordinary mind, Whitman's expansiveness and comradeship, and Blake's politics of desire. As «revolt of sudras (untouchables) poet, » Ginsberg has concentrated language on marginal mankind so that poetic praxis folds into a dimension of visionary politics and poem becomes prophetic moment voiced against the paranoia of state terrorism. Howl is a key event in the struggle for freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to offer a critical overview of the long and complicated history of translations of Virgil from the early modern period to the present day, transcending traditional studies of single translations or particular national traditions in isolation to offer an insightful comparative perspective. The twenty-nine essays in the collection cover numerous European languages - from English, French, and German, to Greek, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Slovenian, and Spanish - but also look well beyond Europe to include discussion of Brazilian, Chinese, Esperanto, Russian, and Turkish translations of Virgil. While the opening two contributions lay down a broad theoretical and comparative framework, the majority conduct comparisons within a particular language and combine detailed case studies with in-depth contextualization and theoretical background, showing how the translations discussed are embedded in their own cultures and historical moments. The final two essays are written from the perspective of contemporary translators, closing out the volume with a profound assessment not only of the influence exerted by the major Roman poet on later literature, but also why translation of a canonical author such as Virgil matters, not only as a national and transnational cultural phenomenon, but as a personal engagement with a literature of enduring power and relevance.
